I think Kelly is at least worth a try in the 9. I think I would try him at 9, put Paulo in at 6 and see how Sandow goes without a naturally organising player at 6. From what I have seen of Norman so far he hasnt shown anything that would indicate he is a natural organising type of 6, so we might as well look like what Sandow is going to provide without another organiser in the halves.

So why put Paulo at 5/8? Another player who can't organise in the halves to place more pressure on Kelly to move to a new position and do the organising. I would be happier to see Paulo used as the back rower he quite clearly is and leave the halves the way they are at the present moment and let Kelly learn the hooking role in the off season.

Just moving Keating out of dummy half won't change things at the present moment.

When Sticky leaves and a new coach comes in it will be more rebuilding years. It's non stop rebuilding.

RS doing a good job. Clearing the deadwood, and making good key signings too.

Got the academy into shape, and blooded some good kids.

Credit where it's due, well done RS.

I fully agree. He's going good.

I'm just a bit skeptical as we've seen it all before.

Clearly not.

Because I think we need see how Sandow is going to go with no other organising player in the halves.

I would be happier in general for Paulo to play in the back-row too. I just want to see what happens when all the organising is going to be up to Sandow.

It is an experimental/development year. We might as well try things. What we are currently doing isnt working

Kearney the stupid merkin was trying to create a triangle when everybody knows we needed a square.

Management issues.

Was it a square?

 

[oldmancraigy]

Was it a square?

Well someone was trying to put a round peg into it, whatever it was.

I think the shape of it is a bit academic.

The shape of the comment wasn't, however. But we've always known that.

I think the ages of our current first grade team, compared to the ages of some of the guys in Wenty, is a pretty good indicator of how the academy has been going.

If only we'd had an academy in the years leading up to 2010, we might have had a much better squad over the past two years.

Kearney haters could even argue we might never have had to put up with him as coach, if previous coaches had cared about player succession and retention.

Wasn't Prince brought in to cover the organizing role left behind by Lockyer?
I have not watched enough Broncos games but if Prince is off the field isn't Wallace doing the organising?
It seems Norman is just playing as an extra MAN when the back line is sweeping in attack and as a support player running off forwards getting a ball away during collision.
If Norman can play organiser then that will be a fantastic bonus for us next year.
Am surprised Kelly is struggling lately - am not giving up on him yet, have seen him do some fantastic under 20's work as an organiser with Storm. If he keeps floundering over the coming 6 weeks then off to 9 or 14 and as a backup 6.

It's a far too big an IF

Say you are right then who do we have besides possibly Kelly (if he sorts his shit out) to do the organising...... Hayne?

How the f**k are we going to threaten the top 8 without a genuine organiser next year?

What do you mean by an organiser? And don't say 'the merkin what steers the team around the park' because that's what the game plan is for.

You still need somebody to organise and make sure the game plan is being followed. E.g Cronk, Thurston, Lockyer, Prince (a few years back).
